PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.
"Does it ever occur to you that a man's
life is full of crosses and temptations? He
comes into the world without his consent and
goes out against his will, and the trip between
is exceedingly rocky.
The rule of contraries is one of the feat-
ures of this trip.
When he is little the big girls kiss him;
when he is big the little girls kiss him. If he
is poor, he is a bad manager; if he is rich, he is
dishonest. If he needs credit, he can't get it; if
he is prosperous, everybody wants to do him a
favor.
If
If he is in politics, he is for graft; if he is
out of politics, he is no good to the country.
he doesn't give to charity, he is a stingy cuss; if
he does, it is for show.
If he is actively religious, he is a hypo-
crite; if he takes no interest in religion he is a
hardened sinner.
If he gives affection, he is a soft specimen;
if he cares for no one, he is cold-blooded. If he
dies young, there was a great future for him; if
he lives to an old age, he missed his calling.
If you save money, you're a grouch; if
you spend it, you're a loafer; if you get it, you're
a grafter; if you don't get it, you're a bum."
Life is just one thing after another.
So wear a Longley Hat and avoid all
criticism.
